About Me

Eclectic Melange: I am a lover of all things fashionable. While jewelry is my first love, I would have to rank my love of shoes number two. I love to inspire and encourage people to love themselves, find their true passion in life and be the best that they can be. I believe in the sayings "live and let live" and "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all". While I don't live in one of the most "fashionable" cities, I love the challenge of finding unique items. I am a lover and collector of vintage jewelry, which is the inspiration for most of my jewelry designs. I also draw inspiration from the old black and white movies where the women "oozed" glamour.

Style Icon Iris Apfel and beautiful actress Dorothy Dandridge

This blog is dedicated to unique jewelry and fashion. I will showcase, not only my one-of-a-kind jewelry designs, but other pieces that I find interesting. I am a lover and collector of vintage jewelry which I will also include. I just had to add a picture of Iris Apfel, as she is, to me, a force to be reckoned with and the epitome of style. She has definitely carved out her own niche when it comes to fashion. The black and white picture of sultry, sexy, Dorothy Dandridge speaks for itself. I also had to add a picture of Joan Crawford. Definitely one of the great actresses and one of my favorites.

Quote from Nina Chanel Abney/Glamour magazine (another very true statement)

"I think glamour is achieved through confidence and acceptance of one's self".

Quote by Sarah Charlesworth/Glamour Magazine (oh so true)

"For me, female beauty has little to do with fashion and a lot to do with personal radiance. This comes from imagination, intelligence and freedom of spirit".
